lyrics

Stick, stone, bone, it don't make no difference
When it's digging up inside of my shoe
I gotta take ten seconds to dig it out
And my shirt pulls out when I do
Tuck, tuck, tuck and I get underway
And my watch is saying go, go, go
There's a cop, there's a fox, there's a lunatic raving
And they all want a bit of my time no, no, no

I take my coffee at ten at night
I make my kids sleep without the lights on

You got a token? You got a dime?
Exact change or the end of the line
Sweat rings on my back
Find me something cheap and fast
I gotta get this place that I hate

I take my time getting out of bed
I change my mind every time I'm questioned

White froth rings the edge of my mouth
Things unexpected come out
Things I doubt so easily
Eyes wide, on the prize
Effective device, enlisting my hemorrhaging

Now my daddy's gay and the union's say
And there's bills and bills and bills to pay
And there's recycle bins and there's lonely women
And there's seven kinds of water to choose from

I swear sometimes just below the altar
I drink right before I see the doctor

Wife refuses to tell me lies
My boss won't talk otherwise
My kids know my money's my only fun
And their friends don't ever come over
No solitary loser
I cry it out by the TV
